She remembers her name.

Her favorite drink. The smell of rain on overheated asphalt. How to smile when someone dangerous steps too close.

Nera is twenty-five, beautiful, sharp-tongued, and unusually difficult to kill. She thinks she's human. The corporation hunting her knows otherwise.

Somewhere beneath synthetic skin, stolen memories and a heartbeat that should not exist, something is waking up.

Find her before they do.
